Ew, I wouldn't put a bird in my hand.

I could get six of them at GameStop for Amazon's price, so I'll risk never finding one. It isn't something I particularly care about enough to seek it out and pay any price, 99 cents about represents how much use I'd get out of it.

I bet you could probably get it on ebay for 99cents probably.... but that wouldn't include shipping.

The removal of Navi Trackers from the North American release is why I didn't buy the game until I found it used for $15, and why I'm glad it underperformed and is the worst selling Zelda of all time. Nintendo doesn't deserve to be rewarded for screwing over all North American Zelda fans like that. Removing entire features from games because a company is too f*cking lazy to translate is inexcusable, especially when North America is where the overwhelming majority of the Zelda fanbase is.

Of course getting my anger out of the way, the actual Adventure mode in the game is f*cking amazing and probably my favorite 2D Zelda game, and yes I played it in just single player which show everyone that the game is great alone as well. Even though the game is linear, the level design is top notch, with the most creative dungeons in 2D Zelda's. Plus the combat was great with tons of enemies filling the screen and great boss fights.

So yeah, Four Swords Adventures basically represents Nintendo at their worst and best. It shows how Nintendo has no problem screwing over all non-Japanese fans just to make a quick buck, but the main adventure mode shows how great Nintendo's game designers can be at making an incredible game.

Pokémon Game Announcement Incoming?
TV Tokyo has posted the summary for the episode of Pokémon Smash, a variety show that covers all aspects of the franchise, due to air next week on Sunday 18th of September. In this summary, it mentions that Pokémon Game Creator, Junichi Masuda is set to appear on the show with a massive shock announcement. While it is possible that the announcement could be unrelated to a new game, his announcements in the past similar to this have ended up being new games. This follows on from Pokémon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara hinting that there are more surprises coming this year. It's possible that the reveal of this game will be in CoroCoro, which is due any day now and/or in Nintendo's special 3DS conference in Japan on Tuesday morning.

I sure hope what ever it is, be it Grey for 3DS or some Stadium game for Wii, I hope in includes the 5th gen Dream World Pokemon!

If it's not Grey, then Nintendo is retarded.

You want to boost 3DS sales this year, you announce Pokemon

Between MKart7, SM3D, MH3G & Pokemon:Grey, Vita wouldn't stand a chance this holiday season.
And we dont' even know all the rest of games coming out for 3DS this holiday season yet.

Sequel to Pokédex 3D.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #4906 on:** September 10, 2011, 03:50:42 PM »

or maybe Pokemon the AR Trading Card Game 3D.

Killer App material right there.

Shaymin · « **Reply #4907 on:** September 10, 2011, 07:45:26 PM »

Pokemon Black/White Pinball. Believe.

(Next mainline Pokemon launches along with the 3DSXL).

Ceric · « **Reply #4908 on:** September 10, 2011, 08:54:29 PM »

AR/Normal Pokemon Snap. I know one Whoee podcast would love that. I would too.

I personally love Grey and a WiiU Pokemon Stadium (based off the original.)

Shaymin · « **Reply #4909 on:** September 10, 2011, 10:02:12 PM »

On second thought... Mystery Dungeon 3.

Believe.

(That Josh Max will get stuck with the review.)

Muliple titles all at once. With no new Pokemon titles slated for after Scramble (at least that I'm aware of), there's no reason to hold back with a slate of new, creative ideas that are almost certainly in the pipeline.

Oblivion · « **Reply #4911 on:** September 11, 2011, 09:47:48 AM »

Guys, it seems that the "shock announcement", was a Mewtwo giveaway. Check out that same Serebii article. It's had a few updates since yesterday.

Though I could be wrong...the article isn't exactly clear.

The thing with Zelda is your to close to the source with an RPG. The closest thing Mario had to an RPG to date when Super Mario RPG happened was Mario 2. Zelda on the other hand sort of falls in that category by lack of category. Also, I'm going to post this in the SSBB thread as well, Miasm(sp?) level would rock.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #4913 on:** September 11, 2011, 12:25:18 PM »

I don't know, I feel like the head of Pokemon coming out to make just a Mewtwo announcement is just a small part of it. Keeping my hopes up!

Mop it up · « **Reply #4914 on:** September 11, 2011, 02:47:59 PM »

Maybe it's that unnamed Wii Pokémon game they mentioned a while back.

Masuda's appearance is next Sunday (the 18th JAPAN TIME), not today.

I know. Did you not read the article? Serebii reported that today's episode said there was going to be a Mewtwo announcement with details in next weeks episode. My original post still stands.

Wii U uses 28nm chips & 1T-SRAM!?
According to a B3D poster it does

I know a person who is an investor of MoSys and other technological companies, we talked about Wii U a few days ago and I became surprised with a comment from him about the new console:

"Wii U uses 28nm manufacturing process from NEC and 1T-SRAM from MoSys"

I asked him how he could know it and he told me that this information have been shared to the investors of MoSys because Nintendo partnership is the more important one for them and any signal of losing the deal can be very dangerous for the health of MoSys business. Since he isn´t a technical person I didn´t ask him about technical specs, but the 28nm comment was very interesting.

That would explain the size of the console, and if that is how MoSys feels about Nintendo, then I bet N got a really good deal on the RAM.... and hopefully it was a lot of it.

Ceric · « **Reply #4918 on:** September 17, 2011, 08:10:45 AM »

With the time frame of the WiiU can't say I'm too surprised to hear a 28nm process. I could definitely see the console size being dictated more by disc drive size, ports, and artistic design. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the mainboard eventually being brought down to a single chip one day.

All that was just mumbo jumbo to me. What is the significance of that?

Caliban · « **Reply #4921 on:** September 17, 2011, 02:32:41 PM »

At 28nm they can make smaller components that use less power, less heat is released, and will perform just the same as if they were of 35nm. They become cheaper too, I would suppose.

That's why the Wii U will look a lot smaller than it should be, won't need an awesome cooling system, and doesn't knock out the entire neighborhood grid.

I was kidding about knocking out the neighborhood grid.

Looks like the Wii U is shaping up to be an awesome kickass system. Too bad it has such a shitty name attached to it...

Caterkiller · « **Reply #4923 on:** September 17, 2011, 05:29:44 PM »

It sounds odd, but the logo looks like the future!

It is not too late to change it to "Super Wii."
